The Tangletown Neighborhood Association invites all Tangletown residents to be a part of our neighborhood-wide annual GARAGE SALE Friday, May 7 and Saturday, May 8 from 8:00-4:00 each day. Take advantage of this opportunity to clean out those closets, basements, garages, and get rid of that clutter!

Are you harboring unwanted or no longer used:

appliances

graduation party supplies

yard and porch furniture

Now is the time to let someone else enjoy your useless or surplus items and pocket some cash. You can even have a “Free” section where you can give away items you don’t think may be saleable. Consider joining with your neighbors on your block for one big sale.

Complete the attached registration form and get it to us by May 1. PLEASE include an email address – it makes it much easier to confirm registrations and addresses, communicate any changes, alerts, sign information, etc. We will not share email info.

The TNA Garage Sale will be advertised in the Star Tribune, the SW Journal, on Craigslist, and on signs throughout the area. Maps indicating the location of all the participating sales will be available at Fuller Park, at each garage sale location, and online. Participants can pick up TNA Garage Sale signs to post in front of their homes to make it easier for buyers to find their sale.

We will be sending out garage sale tips to those who register. If you have some suggestions to add to these tips, please send them to garagesale@tangletown.org – all are welcome. Last year’s garage sale was very successful, the weather was wonderful and participation increased from the previous year. So start sorting and help make this year even better!

Tangletown is a neighborhood in the Southwest community of Minneapolis. The neighborhood was officially known as Fuller until 1996 when it was changed to the present name, which reflects the winding streets in the neighborhood that do not conform to the regular street grid of South Minneapolis. The neighborhood boundaries are 46th Street to the north, Interstate 35W to the east, Diamond Lake Road to the south, and Lyndale Avenue South to the west.
